NATHANIEL D. PIERCE, Plaintiff, v. HUMBOLDT CTY. SUP. CT., et al., Defendants.
ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO CHANGE CASE DESIGNATION
BETH LABSON FREEMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On August 9, 2023, Plaintiff filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, against the Superior Court of Humboldt County, Humboldt County Correctional Facility, and officers at the Sheriff's Office. Dkt. No. 1. However, the complaint includes challenges to his current confinement, including a false warrant, and seeks release without probation. Id. at 3. Then on September 1, 2023, Petitioner filed a habeas petition in this same action, challenging the revocation of probation. Dkt. No. 7.
Although the initiating papers caused the nature of suit to be designated as “550 Prisoner: Civil Rights,” it appears that Plaintiff's intent was to file a habeas action, as evidenced by his subsequent filing. Accordingly, in the interest of justice, the Court directs the Clerk of the Court to change the case designation to “530: Habeas Corpus.”
IT IS SO ORDERED.
